First minivan and I love it. I'm more focused on practicality in our family and after noticing that my 4 year old nephew had issues climbing into our Traverse, I knew it was time to think seriously about a minivan. We owned a 2010 Venza which we traded in after 75,000 miles and other a slight manufacturing defect with the 4-cylinder engine which was repaired under warranty, I took care of that car and it hummed along at 75,000 miles like that day we drove it off the lot. Needless to say I was sold on Toyota and noticed the difference in long-term build quality between it and our Traverse.

I just purchased a 2014 pre owned Toyota Sienna. I have only owned the Van for a month. So far I love how it drives and the space it gives our family. I have 3 kids under the age of 9. I love the blue tooth and how I can play music from my iPhone. Its been such a luxury after driving a 2005 Toyota Corolla for 13 years. I would have liked to buy newer and have all the updated luxuries. However, my budget would not allot for this. Hopefully the next time around. But I bought my kids portable DVD players for entertainment that work just as good. I live in a mountainous area. We get all kinds of weather, but winters can get bad with snow and ice. So I love that the Toyota Sienna is offered in AWD. It also offers leather seats. Something I did not have in my last car. So much easier to clean and take care of with kids. I definitely think that if you are looking for a van the Sienna is something I would check out. The only issues I see that other vans have is storage space under the seats. The Sienna offers recliner captains seats. Although this seems coolant first. I have mixed feelings about them. I feel that for kids they are great. But do not fit well if you are an adult with long legs. I would of rather of seen Toyota use that space for storage space under the seats instead. I also wish Toyota offered more USB ports through out the middle and back rows. Since that is where my kids use all there electronic devices on road trips and outings. This could be offered in newer models. But its something I think would be wonderful if it is not. Overall I love our mini van and have and will remain a loyal Toyota customer and owner.

Decent minivan. After owning a Honda this was our first Toyota minvan. Most of the features we have been happy with. The BIG disappointment is the run-flat tires. I'm not sure why Toyota has stuck with them so long. The cost 2.5X times normal tires and wear out in 25K miles! This is a huge maintenance cost and bring the total value of the car way down. I'll never buy another car with run-flat tires.

Cheap plastics, fabrics (floors), finishes in cabin makes its interior look cheap even though I've got XLE+Navi option. Comparing to previous Sienna model with same trim option, it has less leather surface than older models to save its cost. You will find other cost saving effort from Toyata, unless you are paying $40.000+ for limited edition. Check its keyless remote, interior finishes, XLE's leather finishes/quality, they are lower than average car. Especially you are also considering Oddysey Ex-L+Nav I agree on smooth ride and handling, but overall, I regret. If I buy again, I will go for Kia Sedona or Honda Pilot.

Replaced a 2009 Oddy. Based on great 1999 Camry experience, expected the Sienna to be better. So far, not so good. The main problem is the speedometer is wrong. It overstates speed 3-5 MPH. Our dealer in Tyson Corner, VA says it's normal and Toyota seems to agree. Granted, better than understating speed, but not what I expect of Toyota. Another surprise I didn't notice pre-purchase is that the 2nd row seats don't completely remove from the car. There is a substantial harness that remains above the floor. Wouldn't be able to carry drywall for example without damaging it. Never occurred to me to check after flat floors in past 3 minivans - Honda and Dodges. Buyer beware. Update 7/2016: still underwhelmed by the Sienna. We've managed to get used to compensating for the speedometer issue. We haven't had to haul a lot of cargo without the seats installed so the 'bump' hasn't caused a problem very often. I would add to the disappointments the sound system, especially with satellite audio as a source - it just doesn't sound very good at all. Keeping the car connected to my wife's iPhones (two different models so far) has been finicky at times. Toyota's choice to limit use of features like navigation while the car is in motion is frustrating. It had been helpful in previous cars for the front passenger to enter an address or look for a nearby restaurant, etc. while we were driving down a highway - that's not possible with the Sienna. So we find ourselves ignoring the car's systems in favor of using our smartphones - I suppose that's where everything is headed anyway. Other issues include significant road noise and a feeling of the engine being under powered at times. Ok, so enough complaining - what do I like? It has been reliable so far requiring only regularly scheduled maintenance, but that's what I expect. Overall, I imagine we'll be looking at a different brand next time. Update 1/2017: We're waiting on the fix to the power sliding door issue. For now, it's annoying to have to switch it to manual mode just to be safe. Still, reliability hasn't been bad. The major expense in the past 6 months has been replacing the tires. Our Toyota maintenance plan included with the original purchase has now expired so we'll need to pay out of pocket going forward. I'm still overall not real impressed with the Sienna. A particular annoying thing is the XM radio which we had to pay the dealer to install at the time of purchase. For whatever reason, that receiver is incapable of receiving a number of XM stations. E.g., "Holiday Traditions" which we always enjoyed in our former vans was on a channel this year that our receiver could not tune. Considering the XM radio was a $500 add on, this is very disappointing. The glitches with connecting the car to our iPhones has continued so that's not a great alternative. If I were to buy today, I would most likely go with the Pacifica. Update 7/2017: Power sliding door recall fix has just been made available, I am told. We've now had the power doors (including lift gate) disabled for about 25% of the time we've owned the vehicle which is disappointing.

Ok Minivan but tires bring value WAY down
